3. I made calls and spoke to several people who worked there.
"Decisions are made to benefit Republicans because they are paranoid about their reputation among conservative Republicans, particularly Trump," one former Facebook DC employee told me
1. UPDATE: I documented how American Crossroads repeatedly posted a brutally misleading Facebook ad claiming Raphael Warnock said "God damn America," as if it was his own opinion.
2. Now, Loeffler's campaign is running a Facebook ad featuring these absurdly misleading clips.
Warnock was discussing Jeremiah Wright's sermon, not expressing his own views
This ad violates Facebook prohibition against false ads but candidates like Loeffler are EXEMPT
3. Loeffler has paid Facebook at least $25,000 to spread this lie which Facebook has accepted and in return as many as 500K Georgia voters have seen this false ad.
This is why Facebook's information ecosystem is broken
1. American Crossroads had ads removed by Facebook because of a brutally dishonest attack on Warnock.
The ads claimed that Warnock said "God Damn America" as an expression of his own views.
He was quoting someone else
One day later, Facebook has approved ads w/the SAME CLAIM
2. What is the point of enforcing a rule and taking down ads if you can just republish an ad with the exact same claim the next day?
This ad has been debunked by Facebook fact-checking partner
Facebook doesn't seem to be taking their own rules very seriously
3. This is the second time in two days that American Crossroads has responded to this ad getting taken down by publishing an ad with an identical claim.
